I dont know... if so, they kept it quiet pretty good..
Speaking of air-powered machineguns, i remember seeing a 6mm airsoft gatling gun in resemblance to the M234 Minigun... it had over 800FPS and was capable of shooting metal 6mm slingshot balls
it was reccomended to police for riots lol

This one I'm going to crank up to 250-400 psi , should get up to speeds of about 1200-1500fps. It's fully auto, I'm going to get a pack of 5000 bbs and put it in a container that releases the shot.
Cheers, thanks for the post xD

Gday-
Air rifles and BB guns are Category A as are paintball markers, .22s and shotguns, I never said it made sense tho.
And if it is full auto that would put it into the restricted pile too.
(having said that, I would like to give it a burl)

that sounds awesome! what caliber bb's are you going to use?

well, here in the U.S., we have 6mm and .117 caliber bb's.
the .117 are copper/metal while the 6mm are plastic.
some people use the .117 for varmint hunting, very effective

Mate, for cheap BBs buy bulk shot (ie for shotgun reloads).
You'd prolly be amazed what turns up out west that has never seen a licence also

haha i was bound to screw that up... im completely out of those so i had no real point of referance handy
How much would those shotgun reloads be and if I was buying large amounts of shotgun reloads people would get suspicious, right?
There is tonnes of unlicensed shiz out west, My friend has a.. Rather large gun... 300HH modified to shoot .50 cal shots with a muffler which make the gun have less kick back than my .270
^^ Wonder how he transported the ammo?

At least in NSW, it is illegal to manufacture your own firearm. Compressed air guns are considered firearms. A licenced firearms dealer can however manufacture one for you. A fully automatic firearm is a prohibited weapon, IIRC the potential penalty is 14 years in jail. Again, a licenced firearms dealer can manufacture and possess full auto.
You can buy bulk shot from any licenced firearms dealer. Check the yellow pages. As a component rather than loaded ammunition, I'm not sure of it's legal status, all of the dealers I know will require you to show a category A (shotgun) licence to make a puchase.
Discussing breaking the law on an internet forum is plain dumb.

The former SSAA message board was monitored by the NSW police.
The IPSC Australia BBS was (probably still is) monitored by the federal attorney generals department.
Shooters who have advertised barrels on Ebay Australia have been arrested.
Shooters who have used email to order parts from the States without obtaining the necessary permits have been busted, one was arrested for ordering a how to make your own machine gun book.
A shooter who obtained an import permit for a part for a Cobray pistol, which was registered to his name, was arrested and convicted for importing the part, even though the govt had given him a permit to do so.
There is no constitutional right to privacy or free speech in this country, warrants for computer hacking and wiretapping are issued by the attorney general, not a judge.He has a group in his office whose sole job is to make life difficult for shooters. So expect your electronic communications to be monitored. If they aren't then no foul. if they are then you will have modified your behaviour to stay within the law and again, no foul.
There is at least one NSW cop on this forum, and I believe one QLD cop as well.
Personally, I see no value in breaking the law, however asinine it is, as my freedom to own BB machine guns is less important than my freedom to walk around in the sun.
Get yourself a dealers licence and you can make anything you want and you can buy and sell the real thing. Dealers can legally manufacture and possess heavy machine guns, short barrelled pistols, sub guns, rocket launchers and semi auto rifles. The market for them is small, but stocking (collecting) and testing and evaluating (shooting) them is one of the few perks of being in the gun trade. Profitability sure isn't.
As for nerf guns, they are probably an illegal import, just like airsoft.

Air rifles are legal in all states, as long as they are not full or semi auto.
You must hold a category A licence to possess one.
Air pistols are legal in all states as long as they are not full auto or semi auto.
You must hold a Category H licence to possess one.
Airsoft firearms are a prohibited import, although legal to possess as above.

Arctic Assault, forget it. You might get away with carrying a leatherman or similar, but an actual knife, no way.
If you are dumb enough to tell a copper you are carrying a spanner for the purpose of self defense I think they can arrest you. Simple solution of course is to conceal it and not tell, but if you use it you'd better have a damn good explanation as to why you had it on you.

uhm... yea... a 'buddy' of mine can fit the whole 7" blade in the pockets of BDU's bought from Value Villiage or some other second-hand place that sells official military camo's..
So, if i get mugged over there.. I might as well stab em with the pliars of my leatherman?
lol no offense, but Aus keeps getting more and more whacked when it comes to protecting yourself with anything..
God Bless America

Carrying of knives, or of any other offensive weapon is illegal in NSW. I don't know the law in the other states.
